Did you know your employer also pays tax on your salary? It costs the employer USh 355 to pay you USh 3,547. In other words, every time you spend UGX 10 of your hard-earned money, UGX 2.98 goes to the government.
Real tax rate
27.1%
So, with you and the employer both paying tax, what used to be a 19.8% tax rate now rises to 27.1%, meaning your real tax rate is actually 7.3% higher than what it seemed at first.
Summary

If you make USh 7,377,635 a year living in Uganda, you will be taxed USh 1,458,991. That means that your net pay will be USh 5,918,644 per year, or USh 493,220 per month. Your average tax rate is 19.8% and your marginal tax rate is 36.4%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of UGX 100 in your salary will be taxed UGX 36.4, hence, your net pay will only increase by UGX 63.6.

Bonus Example

A UGX 1,000 bonus will generate an extra UGX 636 of net incomes. A UGX 5,000 bonus will generate an extra UGX 3,180 of net incomes.
